Proud!

My lbs haven't been doing me any good, but my body sure is different! I had this amazing moment last week! My therapist told me my fave shirt was ridiculously big and I needed to buy a new shirt immediately. So I walked into Old Navy bc I wanted to see if I can fit into their "normal" sized clothes again. So to my surprise, I could fit into their 18 jeans and XL & Large shirts. OMG!!!! I almost cried in the dressing room. I haven't seen a 1 in front of jeans size in YEARS! I was very proud. I decided on the XL shirts bc I looked better in them. I also treated myself to a new peacoat. Its black & grey plaid that makes it look like a burberry without the obscene price. What was special about this coat...it was made for a woman and had the pretty belt on the back. All my peacoats never looked right now me bc they were made for a man bc I never had the right size for me. Now I can wear a beautiful feminine coat this winter.So I was in total shock about the sizes and decided it was time for pre & post op pictures. I had my hubby help & compared them using powerpoint. The change was incredible. I will post them when I get a chance, but now I carry those pictures in my blackberry for daily reminders of how far I've come. I have a cute waist & a lifted booty. My booty used to be flat, wide, and had its own zip code!
To make matters even more amazing. After dinner lastnight, I was inspired to try on the jeans that didn't go far up my thighs a few weeks ago. I squeezed into them & now they close. I'm very excited about my ever changing body.
The only downside is the crazy emotional journey. I feel like my hormones & emotions are all over the place. I've decided to try to pay less attention to the numbers, but I can't help myself.
I am working hard with my trainer twice a week for an hr and I'm trying to get a body pump class in every once in a while. My schedule has been making it quite difficult. But I'm staying active.
So here is to the next step.
I got another fill. I am not at 7.5cc of my 11cc band. I can still eat, but restriction is more apparent. Bananas & breads make me kinda uck, but large salad with croutons go down just fine...go figure. So here is to another day!
Funniest compliment by my dr. "Your head looks smaller!" Ummmm...thank you?
I can't lie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the positive feedback & attention.
